the DiscEx/GCReEX formats it only if your doing nand emulation now it be nice to have a shrinking function like GCMUtility v0.5 does and they do have to be in .iso format

Interesting note: build 61 recognizes all of my GC games when I load them into it. Not sure if it does anything else properly, unfortunately, but it does pull info from gametdb, all box and disc arts, and titles of course

Currently running Wii Backup Manager 0.4.5 Build 78 (64Bit) and I made the mistake of renaming 11 WBFS files to show better filename on my list. Everything seemed fine on the list until I decided to exit the program and reload it; to then add the folder onto the list. The same 11 WBFS files that I renamed gave me RED errors saying "Not a WBFS partition", "Invalid Partition Header", "Invalid Wii Disc". So I just damaged 11 WBFS files, even though in v76 it claims to have fix that issue. This is the first time I have renamed the files using the program; and I guess the last, but don't claim it was fixed on v76 if it's not.

BTW, the program is very nice. It works perfectly to transfer ISO to WBFS and to make lists so I know what I have. I guess renaming is not a function that works...

Gee I'd like to give it a try but I can't download it! Everytime I follow the links I end up at a blank ad page! Too much BS just to download anything anymore!

Here is the official secondary download link from the author without an adlink -->> http://filetrip.net/...-78-f26812.html

EDIT: lol, just realized that the post from icebrg5 links to the correct location already due to the automatic filetrip linking..

EDIT2: i still don't like the fact that some keywords still trigger the auto linking...

This question might have been answered somewhere else, but I could not find it.

Will Wii Backup Manager "correctly" fat32 format:
- 3TB fat32 usb harddrives
- 2TB fat32 usb 3.0 harddrives

I have been using Acronis typically to ensure perfect Wii compatibility with all usb loaders (GX and Config) as well as WiiMC (which I find crashes if the drive is formated sucky) . But am wondering if Wii Backup Manager's format utility successfully fixes all these issues? As well, we would need to ensure 32k clusters to retain Gamecube abilities with the usb loaders. Anyone have some experience with this ?

thanks! (trying to get off the requirement of Acronis)

I have looked through the post's (132 pages!) and I see several "export templates" have been uploaded and perhaps I am just
missing it but is there a way to
Export the Game name and Game description for the titles currently on your hard drive? If I just had the export code I could probably
incorporate it into an existing template.(I would try anyway). I just want a printed list of game title and description of game.
Thank You.

Hello, I'm new to this lark using Wii Backup manager version 0.4.1 build 66. For the past few days some games I try to convert to iso wont add to the interface listing but show up in red to the right of the page whilst other games do.
Can someone please tell me if I need to be doing something else to get them to convert or is it the files that are faulty. Never had this problem before when I used earlier versions of WBM??

Thank you :wacko:

Try 0.4.5 Build 78, maybe there was a bug in that version you are using, which is also old btw.
